When mass-produced items from a department store won’t cut it for your seriously style-conscious loved one, here’s a roundup of thoughtful holiday gifts that are sure to impress.

1. A classic or statement piece that they can help create

Get a gift card for The House of Rose so that your fashion-forward loved one can have a hand in designing their own classic or statement piece for their wardrobe. The House of Rose (known online as Designs by THOR) curates luxury fabrics from around the world and hand-crafts custom pieces for their clients so that each creation is literally one-of-a-kind. With a reputation for the attention to detail of each piece, The House of Rose was founded by Tony Iyke. Known for styling celebrities and athletes, his fashion house was recently featured in Forbes and True Hollywood Talk. While the storefront is based in Portland, Oregon, recipients can design a piece from anywhere in the world. We recommend purchasing a gift card of at least $350, so this gift is for a special someone who appreciates luxury fashion. Fortunately, we know The House of Rose is running a holiday gift card special right now for a limited number of shoppers. Get your gift here.

2. Repurpose an heirloom fabric

Have a garment or piece of fabric that holds a special significance in your family? You can repurpose this fabric to create something new that your loved one can wear.This service is also offered at The House of Rose, using their “design anything” feature on the site.

3. A personal stylist from their favorite brand or store

If you know what brand or store that your loved one frequents, see if they offer a personal styling program. Get them a gift card and a session with a personal stylist to elevate their fashion game for Spring. If their favorite brand doesn’t offer a personal stylist, there are independents who specialize in this and they can be found via a quick Google search for personal stylists in your area. Want a digital option? There’s an app for that. Wishi.me connects style enthusiasts with personal shoppers to pair what they already have in their wardrobe with expert-suggested closet additions.

4. A fashion magazine editorial session

Has your loved one dreamed of being a fashion model or influencer? Book a stylist and photographer for a magazine-inspired fashion photoshoot. This is an opportunity for the recipient to professionally document their favorite looks, add to their fashion portfolio, and provide Instagram-worthy shots. Whether they want to be a paid professional in the industry or they’re simply an enthusiast, this gift allows them to be mindful about their connection to fashion and create memories that will last. Not sure where to start to put together a fashion photo shoot? Not to worry. These days, many photographers offer special branded content packages for social media creators.

5. A reason to wear that piece they love but that never comes off the hanger

Most of us have an article of clothing or two that we were inspired to buy but haven’t found a good reason to wear. Often, it’s a dress or jacket for a formal occasion. So book a wardrobe-appropriate event, and plan a night around the article of clothing. For a special touch, wrap up the article of clothing along with dinner reservations or concert tickets and include a card to make your intentions clear.

In a world where material goods usually reign supreme during holiday shopping, a little extra intention can make the gift-giving season special. Since style is so personal, it’s a great opportunity to allow your loved one to showcase what makes them unique by giving them a hand in the design or providing an experience just for them.
